The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Winnipeg (Latin: Archidioecesis Vinnipegensis) is a Roman Catholic archdiocese that includes part of the Province of Manitoba. The archbishop since 2014 is Richard Gagnon. The archdiocese is the only diocese of the Latin Church in Canada that is immediately subject to the Holy See, as it is not part of an ecclesiastical province.[1]
